Anthony Denon, formerly of Chantilly’s Jeu de Paume and the Baudelaire in Paris, has set the Bay of Toulon buzzing with his new downtown establishment (in one of the city’s former iconic seafood restaurants, Au Sourd). Laëtitia cheerfully bids you welcome into the fully refurbished interior of Shanael, which is a portmanteau of Anthony and Laëtitia’s children’s names. The chef signs a bold lineup strewn in perfectly judged creative notes and underscored by a steadfast commitment to sustainable sourcing and a keen taste for plants and veg.
